Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Derek Conway (Conservative), on Monday, 11 December 2006, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 57 members in total.
FUTURE OF THE GATWICK EXPRESS
That this House expresses its deep concern at the proposals put forward by the Department for Transport to reconfigure the Gatwick Express into a stopping service; believes this will have a detrimental effect on both the air passengers at Gatwick Airport and the rail passengers along this route; believes that introducing a stopping service will increase journey times significantly and increase car journeys to and from the airport; notes that a potential infrastructure solution could emerge from Network Rail by 2011 to allow improved performance and capacity on the Brighton Main Line; further believes that the Gatwick Express is an excellent service that offers the travelling passenger a journey that is convenient, efficient and reliable; and calls upon the Department for Transport to retain a dedicated non-stop airport service to and from Gatwick Airport.
